My budget is about $300. They are all 35mm mounted slides, probably several thousand. Some I have looked at scan directly to an SDcard with no mention of software, others come with software.
I had a lot of colour slides - I could copy to digital on the Epson600 scanner but it was taking a lot of time. My son found me an old Bowens Slide duplicator. I mounted my DSLR in place of the bellows and using a macro lens I got through hundreds of slides in a couple of days, I also got digital photo's from colour/BW negative film.
P.S. Not mine - I just checked Ebay to see if they were still around,
